Parmesan Cheese Crisps, also known as Frico, are thin, baked rounds of Parmesan cheese that crisp up beautifully in the oven. When baked, the cheese melts and turns golden, creating a delicately crunchy texture with a deep umami flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Set the temperature: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare a baking sheet: Line with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Form the Cheese Rounds

  • Spoon the cheese: Place 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan on the baking sheet.
  • Shape the crisps: Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon to form thin, even circles about 2 inches wide.
  • Space them out: Leave at least 1 inch between each crisp to allow spreading.

Step 3: Add Seasonings (Optional)

  • Sprinkle black pepper or smoked paprika over each crisp for added flavor.

Step 4: Bake the Parmesan Crisps

  • Bake for 5–7 minutes: Until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
  • Watch closely: They can burn quickly, so check after 5 minutes.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

  • Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes: This helps them crisp up further.
  • Transfer to a wire rack: Use a spatula to move them carefully.
